Working toward a better environment

-------
an exciting
and essential
career
The horizon for environmental careers is vast
and expanding.
The restoration and protection of our environ-
ment will require an enormous range of spe-
cialists, from wildlife attendants to sanitary en-
gineers, from operators of pollution control
equipment to soil conservationists.
The demand for various kinds of technicians,
educators and researchers in this field, for ex-
ample, is expected to reach 1.5 million in the
next year or two.
Employment opportunities in the environmen-
tal field are opening up not only in State and
Federal governments but at the city and county
level, in private industry, and in research insti-
tutions and laboratories.
What brought about this dramatic new job
market?
Historically we can look back to the 1960s
as the decade when the United States and other
countries saw public concern over pollution
undergo a transformation. The puWication of
Rachael Carson's "Silent Spring," a series of
pollution episodes including major oil spills,
and heightened awareness of the dangers to
public health from pollution all contributed to
the rise of an environmental movement.
Congress responded to the change with a
series of strong new laws to cope with pollu-
tion. Among them were the Clean Air Amend-
ments of 1970, the Federal Water Pollution Con-
trol Act of 1972, the Noise Pollution Control Act,
and Environmental Pesticides Control Act of
1972.
An important step also was taken in 1970
with the creation of the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency (EPA) to centralize Federal anti-
pollution efforts, until then dispersed among
15 departments and agencies. EPA not only
implements and enforces these new laws but
also deals with environmental problems such
as solid wastes, drinking water quality, and en-
vironmental radiation. The Agency operates
through 10 regional offices, laboratories, and at
its headquarters in Washington, D. C.
The science of pollution control is progress-
ing. The first nationwide auto emission controls
were installed on 1968 cars. Since then, as auto
makers developed systems to meet the increas-
2

-------
ingly stiffer standards required by law, emission
controls have become more sophisticated and
efficient. But the complex new controls created
new problems and the search for the best con-
trol method still goes on. Indeed, many people
believe that the ultimate solution is to develop
clean engines rather than elaborate add-on
emission control systems.
There has also been marked technological
progress in controlling pollution from large
plants. Stack scrubbers, for instance, have
been developed in recent years that show great
promise of enabling electric generating stations
to burn high-sulfur coal without jeopardizing
clean air standards.
As a result of these and other developments,
employment in what is broadly called "pollution
management" is rapidly expanding through pub-
lic and private expenditures. The President's
Council on Environmental Quality has estimated
that combined spending on pollution control
will total about $275 billion in the decade end-
ing in 1981. This means millions of new jobs
associated with the national commitment to a
cleaner, healthier environment.
Pollution problems do not stop at the United
States border. Reports to the United Nations
Conference on the Human Environment in Stock-
holm in 1972 showed that the problem is global.
Even developing nations have environmental
troubles with creeping soil salinity and erosion,
with man-made filth diseases, with water short-
ages, and with raw new cities. They need envi-
ronmental managers just as urgently as the
technologically rich countries.
So the need for men and women to dedicate
their lives to helping make the world a healthier
and cleaner place has never been more urgent.
Your contribution will be a welcome one, whether
it's in volunteer work or as a career employee.
Where do you want to start? Some of the best
opportunities are close by, in local and State
government levels and in industry. Local govern-
ment bodies employ people in air pollution
monitoring and enforcement, city planning, milk
and food protection, sanitation, waste collection
and disposal, and similar fields.
Industry is increasingly investing in pollution
technology to meet the requirements of Federal
laws. The private outlay for such controls in-
cluding maintenance and operating costs for
air and water pollution, radiation, $olid waste,
and land reclamation will total approximately
$210 billion in the decade ending in 1981. Men
and women will be needed to install, service
and monitor such equipment. Company labora-
tories will need technicians. Air and water clean-
ing equipment, as well as systems to reclaim
and recycle useful materials from industrial
waste also are expanding fields for job oppor-
tunities.
The career choices are open to a diversity of
talents. You can work in an office or outdoors,
in a city or a national park, in this country or
abroad.
Whatever task you choose in the environ-
ment, your service will be essential to help pre-
serve and enhance the quality of life.
•	You can help clean up air that is corrupted
by smog and filth.
•	You can help save the streams, lakes and
ocean waters that are burdened with con-
tamination.
•	You can aid in the conservation of wildlife
and of natural resources that are part of
our national heritage.
•	You can help insure that our water is fit to
drink.
•	You can help solve the problem of the
choking traffic of our inner cities and make
them a decent place to live.
•	You can help insure that pesticides and
other toxic substances are controlled and
safely used so that they minimize unneces-
sary risk to all forms of life.
•	You can work for the reduction of soaring
noise levels, which are both annoying and
dangerous.
•	You can grapple with the problem of litter
and the mountains of solid waste that clut-
ter the land.
•	You can work for the safe, efficient devel-
opment of nuclear energy.
•	You can devise ways to reclaim land that
has been wasted thoughtlessly, and you
can help to plan better land use.
In these and other ways, you can take part
in the restoration and preservation of a good
environment.

Before you choose a career in the environ-
ment, consider a few questions. What do you
enjoy doing? What are you good at? How much
education do you plan to get? How much can
you spend on training? When you've narrowed
your goals a bit you can start to investigate the
many different jobs that deal with the improve-
ment of the environment. This booklet is in-
tended to provide information on some oppor-
tunities you might want to explore; it is by no
means a complete roster of all the opportunities
available in the environmental field.
Occupations concerned with environmental
protection can be broken down into four cate-
gories. Within each of these broad classifica-
tions there is a countless variety of specific
activities that might appeal to you. Here are
some brief descriptions of a few jobs related to
environmental management:

planning your
Hopefully the short descriptions supplied
here will help you get a better idea of what you
can do in environmental management. A good
source for further information on general and
specific subjects is your school guidance coun-
selor. Many guidance departments keep files
of job opportunities and a reference library to
assist you.
There are other ways to find out more about
a career in the environment. Write for informa-
tion to local, State, and Federal agencies and
EPA Regional Offices (addresses are often in
the phone book) and to special-interest national
organizations. Watch your newspaper for arti-
cles reporting current local efforts to deal with
environmental problems. From these stories
you can get ideas about probable future job
needs in your community, and you can learn the
names of people in charge of operations. Most
of these people would be happy to talk to you
about environmental careers.
In case you plan to continue your education
after high school, there are many vocational
institutes and community colleges that have
training progams directly concerned with en-
vironmental work. Universities and colleges
throughout the country are continually adding
courses in environmental fields. Many have
specialized major-course programs in particu-
lar areas. A list of some of these schools can
be found in the appendix of this publication.
You can also consult the school nearest you for
further information.
There are several environmental protection
occupations in the Equipment Operation and
Support Group which are often available for
immediate entry with little or no previous train-
ing. It is important to note that these jobs can
be interim steps to supervisory positions in local
government or they can be temporary positions
pursued on a part-time or short-term basis. For
those attending a vocational school, junior col-
lege, or university and studying in an environ-
mental curriculum, these jobs can often be
pursued for course credit with the approval of
your dean or counselor. Such positions have
8

-------
become increasingly helpful to environmental
planners, scientists, and engineers in providing
first-hand experience in the blue-collar jobs
which are the basis of environmental protec-
tion.
For the most part, jobs in these areas are in
local government systems under the public
works department and are secured by contact-
ing the city or county government personnel
office or through the respective civil service
offices. Consult the telephone directory under
the city government listings or public works
department.
Another approach is to contact State and
local employment security offices which are
located in most communities. These offices
keep listings of job openings in both the pub-
lic and private sectors with referral and coun-
seling services free of charge. Larger cities
often have "job banks" and other community-
service offices which also do job referrals and
placement service for those seeking employ-
ment. Job banks are usually a municipal service
and can be contacted through your city hall.
If you are a veteran, contact your local VA
office for information on jobs for veterans both
in the public and private sectors.
Many State and local pollution control agen-
cies conduct training programs on a regular
basis for new-entry personnel who are begin-
ning careers in environmental protection. In-
formation regarding training may be obtained by
contacting the appropriate State pollution con-
trol agency listed under "State" in the tele-
phone directory. These training programs usu-
ally offer on-the-job training for new employees
and upgrade training for presently-employed
persons.
As you can see, there is much to do in the
environmental protection field. Your dedication
and skills are needed to save our environment.
You can pursue a career that is both satisfying
and beneficial—a career that contributes di-
rectly and in a meaningful way to the better-
ment of the earth. There could be no more
important commitment.
EPA Programs

and funds others in private and public insti-
tutions all over the country. EPA helps to
meet increasing manpower needs by offering
